Here's the situation. I currently have the following desktop, built april 2010: - Intel i5 750 - ATI HD5850 - 4 GB RAM (can't remember speed or brand) - Asus P7P55 mobo - 500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate 7200.10 or .11 I own a 12 inch Samsung netbook which has become too slow for my purposes. I...

Hi, wondered if you could send me the service repair manual as well. Thanks in advance.

It is a fair point to say that there is always a lot of promise for newer tech. But I think it also depends on what you currently have, so to say the performance leap you're making. Plus, Nvidia don't seem to be developing technology at a great pace at the moment due to their seeming superiority...

Hi, Around september last year I bought me a 7900 GT 512MB card. In december that year I decided to buy an entire new system because it was a big bottleneck for the card. So now I'm on my new system and I'm happy with the performance of the card still, but I think it is starting to die...

up.

Alright I'll start with my setup: - Soundcard: Adi 1988B onboard chip (on an Asus P5B-E) - Driver: SoundMax HD Audio 5.2 - Microphone: Sennheiser e825 S dynamic microphone I have my mic hooked up to my onboard audio with a 6.3>3.5mm converter plug. I have another mic ($5 computer mic)...

I've just thought... The OSD is controllable by mouse in Windows. Would the OSD give the same possibilities hooked up to a PS3, or would it be inaccessible?

The Ultrasharp series has better color reproduction due to the use of a more expensive panel. It also increases the viewing angle.

But are you sure it's the monitor that does 1:1 (like you selected it in the OSD) or did you do it in your videocard driver?

The manual is quite unclear to me, they're talking about HDCP in general but don't really make a statement about whether or not this monitor is HDCP compliant.

Does this mointor support hdcp over dvi, or pixel mapping by any chance?

Then why would there be a demand for 1:1 pixel mapping on a monitor if most of the time this can just be accomplished softwarematically? Also, you suggest that it wouldn't work on a console for instance then?

I've seen this photo on another forum that makes me think the 226bw has 1:1 pixel mapping after all... http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/2031/img0389ht1.jpg It's running at the native laptop resolution which is 1280x800. Does it only do this because it's connected dual screen?

I want to bump this because I'm really curious what the experiences are with the LG display and particularly how it likes 1080p.
